Is this a good thing?

Scores going up? Taking a standardized tests is a skill you can learn and I think it's important, but the fact that these scores are up does not mean that these children are learning the skills they need to succeed. The real question will these children get into college.

Standardized tests are a way for governments to sleep at night and politicians to get reelected.
